Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 6 large leaves fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin
• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the blackberries thoroughly, then mash them with a fork or potato masher in a medium-sized bowl until they are broken down but still slightly chunky.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the powdered fruit pectin and 3 tablespoons of water to form a smooth mixture. Set this aside.

Step 3

Transfer the mashed blackberries to a medium saucepan. Add the granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest, and stir well to combine.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently (about 5–7 minutes).

Step 5

Stir the prepared pectin mixture into the saucepan and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the jam thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the fresh mint leaves. Let the jam sit for 5 minutes to allow the mint to infuse its flavor. Remove and discard the mint leaves after infusion.

Step 7

Let the jam cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container.

Step 8

Refrigerate the jam for at least 2 hours to allow it to set fully. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.
